Q. I am a student of B.E final year and I am suffering from great difficulty. I am unable to concentrate on my studies. My mind gets diverted all the time while studying. I am afraid about scoring less marks in exams. Please help me out.
Ans. There could be many reasons for your situation. I am sure you are aware of them to some extent. Is it an emotional disturbance, is it a relationship issue, is it addictions like social media or games or friends or what? What is distracting your mind? Something more powerful than your degree and career in hand is bothering you? Is the degree course which does not interest you or the future career of an engineer seems boring? Please come for consultation if you cannot manage your studies and do not waste time. A loss of a year in final exams can be very costly.

Q. I am an electronic engineering student. I am good at studies. But now I am not able to concentrate on studies. My aim is to join armed forces. I am very keen to join it anyhow. I also love a girl from last eight years- she also knows that I love her. I proposed to her and she said no to me but we are best friends now. She had recently broken up with her boyfriend but I always think of her and not able to study. I care for her a lot, she also wants that I should join the armed forces but sometimes she behaves rudely and that disturbs me a lot. What to do I am not getting anything. Please help me.
Ans. You can start by setting your priorities first. Then focus on one thing at a time. Complete your degree, join the armed forces and then propose to your friend. Once you are well settled in life she might agree and say yes to you. But, I would suggest not to run after her too much. Keep the friendship and maintain the distance as well. When she behaves rudely keep away from her for some time. She might be taking you for granted after a long eight years of friendship. It is up to you to maintain your dignity and earn her respect.

Q. I am a B. Sc 1st year student- for me my work has always been my life. I am skilled in diverse fields. I someday hope to be an inventor. But I recently got very sick and have missed my classes a lot. I have been healthy for more than 20 days and I just couldn’t bring myself to face the teachers and I ended up bunking college. I realized that I have been sabotaging my own tasks since I have been in school. I don’t understand what I am scared of but whatever it is, it has stopped me from succeeding whatever I try to accomplish. I am a good public speaker so I don’t understand this fear of mine. Your guidance will be of help.
Ans. An illness can affect you mentally too. The back log might be scaring you and everything might seem like a big task. Go to college without wasting time and make a time schedule of dealing with the back log. Ask your teachers and friends for help. If this is a different problem and exists from school days as you say, then you would need to analyse the core problem and anxiety behind sabotaging the tasks. A personal tutor can be very helpful at such times in clearing the backlog. Try that out for some time. Come for a session if nothing works.
